I just finished a quote for a high school, they want a wireless network for their 632 students that will use Ipad instead of text book and pen. They make the experience last year with 1 class and was extremely satisfy. Apple offer the Ipad at discount for the parents. It's not unique here in Quebec, few educational establishments are making the move to the tablet, eliminating all the books and papers.
The question is; Is Microsoft already too late ?, If we compare to the market of the graphic artists, printers and news papers, they are in majority using Apple products , here in Quebec at least, the reason is for simple, many years ago Mac was the choice for them, they get use to the Apple product and continue this way. I suspect it will be the same with the schools, they already adopt the Ipad, Windows 8 will not be ready for September, so more schools will use Ipad for the next year, the teachers will prepare program for them, other school with look at what they have already and adopt it instead of a system they have no experience with it.
